WILD ToM:-Your essay on the
beautiful springtime," 'feathered
songsters" and "peeping buds"
was crowded out this week by the
cold wave. We have tried mixing
cold waves and beautiful spring
times and they fail to give satisfac-
ton to our customers. We rather
pride ourselves on the correctDe ss
of our market reports, and now to
quote the weather at beautiful
spring" when it is in active demand
at zero-well, it will be cold day
when we go back on our confidiDg
reading thus. Besides, we have an
old invoice of springtime rhapso-
dies that I'VE are having worked
over and calcimined and we will
have slush to sell when the season
opens up. Family and farm rights
will be let at liberal rates. We ad-
wise those desiring to invest to take
out an accident policy on their i'm
mortal souls. Send us some light
fantastic obituary readiug to:prime
the public mind with We could
make half the people move to a
colder climate if we wanted to. We
are thinking of having it all pub
lished in a volume and send it to
our unfortunate fellow citizens who
borrow THE CITIZEN to read They
would be sorry they ever went 10
of sthem who ever
went.
